IMPORTANT FACTS
INGREDIENTS IN APPLE CHERRY MIX(1BAG)
-3/4 kilograms of dried apples
-1/2 kilograms of dried cherries
-1/4 kilogramd walnuts
COST OF INGREDIENTS
-Dried apples :70.00 pesos per kilograms
-Dried cherries :180 pesos per kilograms
-Walnuts :160 pesos per kilograms Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Calculating the number of kg of each ingredient required per batch is nothing more than multiplying the number of kg per bag times 250. But the information given is woefully inadequate for answering the second part of the question. All you know is the cost of the ingredients and nothing about the fixed costs of running the factory, nor the company's G&A, nor the desired profit margin. If they sell just for the cost of the ingredients, they would go broke in a month.
